Private emergency appointments for Chelsea patients at our Camberwell practice.
If you are facing a dental emergency in or around Royal Hospital Chelsea, our team at Dentist By The Green is ready to help. We understand how worrying sudden toothache or a broken tooth can feel. From your first call, we aim to provide calm, practical support and a plan that makes sense for you.
We are a private dental team in Camberwell, welcoming patients who travel from Chelsea’s historic neighbourhoods. Many people come to us from the area around the Royal Hospital designed by Sir Christopher Wren, Ranelagh Gardens, Sloane Square and the King’s Road. Our focus is simple, ease your pain, make things safe and map out the right next steps. Your care is always provided by fully qualified dental professionals, with ethical, evidence based planning to protect your health.
You can reach us by car, bus, bike or train. Our Camberwell location is well connected by public transport and the main routes across the river. This helps patients from Chelsea get to us quickly when urgent care is needed.
Whether you are close to the grand colonnades of the Royal Hospital, near Ranelagh Gardens, Sloane Square, the King’s Road or along Chelsea Embankment, we are ready to help when urgent dental problems arise.
Many patients reach us from this part of West London for same day assessment where available. While we cannot promise specific appointment times, we do our very best to see emergencies promptly and to keep you updated along the way.
Please get in touch as soon as you can if you have:
If you have heavy or uncontrollable bleeding, fever with spreading swelling, difficulty breathing or swallowing, or trauma involving the face or jaw, call 999 or go to your nearest A&E. For non life threatening urgent dental concerns outside practice hours, NHS 111 can advise on immediate next steps. Your wellbeing comes first.
This calm and measured approach supports long term comfort and everyday confidence, helping you make decisions at your own pace.
Keep the area clean with gentle brushing and warm salty mouth rinses unless we advise otherwise.
Avoid very hot, cold or sugary foods if the tooth is sensitive.
Chew on the opposite side until the tooth has been fully assessed and protected.
Take pain relief as directed. If symptoms worsen, please contact us for guidance.
If anything worries you after your appointment, our team is here to help.
From your first call, we prioritise genuine emergencies and offer the earliest suitable appointment. When you arrive, your clinician will listen to your symptoms and examine the area carefully to find the source of the problem. This may include simple tests and, where helpful, X rays. Using X rays when appropriate gives a clear view of hidden areas, supports accurate planning and helps us explain your options with confidence.
This calm and measured approach supports long term comfort and everyday confidence, helping you make decisions at your own pace.
Dental emergencies can be unpredictable, but getting calm, professional support should be straightforward. If you are in or around Royal Hospital Chelsea and need an emergency dentist, Dentist By The Green will prioritise your comfort, carry out a thorough clinical assessment and guide you on the most appropriate next steps for your situation.
Toothache or swelling: Keep the area clean. Rinse gently with warm salty water. You may use over the counter pain relief as directed on the packet unless advised otherwise by your GP or pharmacist. Do not place aspirin on the gum.
Broken tooth: If you can, keep any fragments. Cover any sharp edges with dental wax or sugar free chewing gum until we have assessed it.
Lost crown or onlay: Do not use superglue. Keep the restoration safe and bring it with you.
Knocked out adult tooth: Hold the tooth by the crown, not the root. If it is clean, try to gently place it back in the socket and bite on a soft cloth. If this is not possible, place the tooth in milk or saline and come to see us promptly. Do not scrub or dry the root.
Bleeding after trauma: Apply steady pressure with a clean gauze or cloth for up to 10 minutes. If the bleeding does not settle, seek urgent help.
If you are unsure what to do, call our team and we will talk you through it.
Calm, patient centred care: Dental pain and injuries can be unsettling. We offer reassurance, clear explanations and gentle techniques so you feel supported throughout.
Experienced team: You will see a private dentist who is used to managing urgent dental problems, from severe sensitivity to dental trauma.
Focus on relief and stability: We aim to reduce pain, protect your oral health and then plan any follow up care around your specific needs.
Convenient South London base: Our practice on Denmark Hill in Camberwell, close to Ruskin Park and the King’s College Hospital area, is well placed for patients travelling from Chelsea via routes such as Chelsea Bridge and the Embankment. We regularly welcome people who live and work around the Royal Hospital Chelsea, the National Army Museum and the Chelsea Physic Garden.
01
Triage and assessment: We will listen to your symptoms, medical history and any recent events, such as a fall or biting something hard. A focused examination helps us pinpoint the cause of pain or swelling.
02
Immediate relief where possible: Your dentist will aim to make you more comfortable during the visit. Local anaesthetic may be used if suitable.
03
Stabilisation: We protect vulnerable areas and reduce the risk of further damage. This might include a temporary dressing to shield exposed dentine or re securing a loose restoration where appropriate.
04
Clear guidance: You will receive tailored advice on aftercare, what to watch for and how to keep the area clean as it settles. If further treatment is advisable, we will outline options and timings.
05
Follow up planning: Ongoing care is based on your individual needs and what we find on the day. We will not rush decisions. Your dentist will discuss what may help and when to return.
Suitability for any treatment or procedure always depends on an in person examination and your medical history. Outcomes vary from person to person, and your dentist will discuss what may help in your specific case after assessment.
